I decided to go. Maybe Lindey could tell me something about my parents‘ car accident. 

After making up my mind, I checked the time. I still had a few hours before lunch, so I headed to the 

office. 

“Good morning, Ms. Kay!” Ron greeted me with a big grin, like I was some sort of miracle cure that brightened his day. 

“Morning, Mr. Shane!” I replied. 

“You’re glowing today, Ms. Kay. Is it love?” he teased, like we were old buddies or something. 

Hayden’s sweet kisses flashed through my mind, and I couldn’t help but smile a little. “Maybe it’s just the good weather.” 

Since we weren’t exactly close, I wasn’t about to spill my personal life. 

He laughed, and I headed straight to my office. 

It was Monday, which meant the usual department meeting. 

During the meeting, everyone gave their updates. 

Sean Lyon, one of our employees, handed me a contract. “Ms. Kay, this is a new lighting supplier I’ve been talking to. They’re a startup and want our technical guidance. Could you take a look at the contract?” 

I skimmed the document. “They’ve only been around for, what, a month?‘ 

“Yeah, they’re really new,” Sean admitted, looking a bit uneasy. 

Partnering with a fresh company was risky–way more than working with an established one–because of all the unknowns. 

Probably worried I’d shut it down, Sean added quickly, But don’t worry, I negotiated the payment terms. They’ll pay fifty percent upfront, twenty–five percent midway, and the rest after the project’s done.” 

I smiled. “They’re definitely putting in the effort. Looks like they really want to work with us.” 

“Yeah, they’re super eager. I’d feel guilty shutting them down, Sean said with a relieved grin. 

The others chuckled, teasing him. “Sincerity, huh? What’d they offer? Free gifts or someone special?” 

Sean waved his hands, laughing. “No, nothing like that! wouldn’t dare break any company rules. They’re just genuinely impressed by what we can do.” 

I nodded. “Their sincerity definitely shows.” 

Even though it was just a casual comment, everyone started cheering for Sean. “Great job, Sean! If your seal this deal, you’re treating us all to dinner!” 

Sean was quick to deflect. “That’s only if Ms. Kay gives me the green light.” 

The contract needed my approval first, then Ron’s, before we could move forward. 

We weren’t short on clients, so we didn’t have to jump at every opportunity. That’s probably why Jace’s

proposal had been shot down by our mysterious boss before. 

I thought about that elusive boss and felt a surge of curiosity. I still didn’t have a single clue who he was. With Sean looking at me hopefully, I didn’t make any promises. “Send me a copy of their background. I’ll review it and let you know.” 

Sean gave me an enthusiastic thumbs–up, and the meeting wrapped up 

The background check was pretty straightforward. The company’s head had been a technician at another firm for a few years, and it looked like this was a partnership, based on the number of shareholders. 

These types of companies had their ups and downs. The good part was that no single person’s issues would disrupt the whole operation. The downside? Too many people calling the shots could complicate things for us. 

After considering the pros and cons, I decided the partnership with this company seemed doable and went to talk to Ron. 

Ron was acting as the big boss for now, and from what I’d seen, the company wasn’t focused on rapid expansion. They were more into steady growth and maintaining quality. 

When it came to choosing clients, we definitely valued quality over quantity. 

Ron’s office door was open, and he was on the phone. I was about to step back and come by later, but he waved me in. 

Yes, we’re seriously looking for a chief tech officer, someone top–notch in lighting engineering.. Salary’s not an issue. If he’s down to join, I’d even step down for him… Awesome, I’m counting on you. Talk soon.”
